Hi Ian,
In Oz, we prefer to fly our Dimonas with our pants up.
Much safer in the event of an unplanned landing. Laurie

Yep. Also the elevator response on take off Typical T tail above the
slipstream. Becomes sensitive quickly. Can catch u with your pants down

G'day all,
Now that we have some new Dimona pilots taking to the skies, I would like to
make a reminder about how totally unsuitable the Dimona is for wheeler landings
and lifting the tail prematurely on take off.You will get serious oscillations,
particularly on undulating or rough surfaces. If you are not 100% sure what I
am talking about you need to talk to an experience Dimona pilot ASAP to find
out more!cheers
